Jürgen Klopp explains latest on Emre Can contract talks

Jürgen Klopp has provided an update on a potential contract extension for Liverpool midfielder Emre Can.

The manager was asked about the future of the No.23, who scored the winner against Burnley last weekend, at his pre-Manchester City press conference.

Klopp said: “It actually makes no sense to talk about it, but because I obviously heard there was a story out there… yes, we are in talks, what can I say?

“They are good, because Emre likes to be here. We really like him as a person and as a player. So there are talks, there is nothing else to say.

“And until the final year starts – there are a few months still – no problems, absolutely no problems. Completely good talks [have been] held with a lot of other players, and if there is something to say about [it] we will be the first.”
